Federal Court Halts Missouri’s ESG Disclosure Rules A federal court in Missouri has ruled in favor of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) in a lawsuit challenging new state regulations on investment advice. These Missouri rules, which took effect on July 30, 2023, required financial advisers and brokers to disclose when they consider nonfinancial objectives—like environmental, social, and governance (#ESG) factors—in their recommendations. U.S. District Judge Stephen Bough has issued a statewide permanent injunction, effectively stopping the enforcement of these rules. This ruling is a significant development in the ongoing debate over the role of #ESG in investment decisions. What are your thoughts on this decision?
